IIS 10: Install a certificate

First, you must install the intermediate certificate included in your bundle to your Microsoft® IIS 10 server. You also can download the gd_iis_intermediates.p7b intermediate certificate from the repository.

Then, to install the primary SSL certificate, you must complete the pending request, bind the certificate to your website, and then restart your site.

Friendly name — Enter a unique name to identify the SSL certificate. For wildcard SSL certificates, make sure your friendly name matches your common name (such as *.coolexample.com).

Select a certificate store for the new certificate — Select Personal.

In the Connections panel on the left, select the name of the server on which you installed the certificate.

Click + to expand Sites, and then select the site you want to secure with the SSL certificate. (This process is called binding.)

In the Actions panel on the right, click Bindings....
